Troubleshooting 150 Cannot connect the camcorder to a network device using Wi-Fi. - When you reset all the camcorder's settings, all network settings are lost as well. In the Wi-Fi settings of network device, delete the camcorder's network profile and then connect the camcorder again. - The wireless signal is not strong enough or there are other devices in the vicinity interfering with the wireless signal. Refer to Precautions Regarding Wi-Fi Networks (A 150). The Playback via Browser application will not start on the Web browser. - Make sure to activate the function on the camcorder with the [Wi-Fi Setup] > [1] > [Playback via Browser] setting. - The URL entered into the Web browser's address bar is incorrect. Enter the URL exactly as it appears on the camcorder's screen. - The recording media slot cover is open or there is no SD card in the camcorder. Check that an SD card that contains photos is correctly inserted into the camcorder and the recording media slot cover is closed. The Browser Remote application will not start on the Web browser. - Make sure to activate the function on the camcorder with the [Wi-Fi Setup] > [1] > [Browser Remote] setting. - The URL entered into the Web browser's address bar is incorrect. Enter the URL exactly as it appears on the camcorder's screen. - Browser Remote cannot start while you are shooting with the camcorder. Start Browser Remote before shooting. The Browser Remote or Playback via Browser screen is not displayed correctly on the Web browser. - The device, operating system or Web browser used may not be supported.

Precautions Regarding Wi-Fi Networks When using a Wi-Fi network, try the following corrective actions if the transmission rate drops, the connection is lost, or other problems occur. Location of the access point (wireless router) - When using a Wi-Fi network indoors, place the access point in the same room where you are using the camcorder. - Place the access point in an open, unobstructed location, where people or objects do not come between it and the camcorder. - Place the access point as close as possible to the camcorder. In particular, note that during outdoor use in poor weather, rain may absorb radio waves and disrupt the connection. Nearby electronic devices - If the transmission rate over a Wi-Fi network drops because of interference from the following electronic devices, switching to the 5 GHz band or to a different channel may solve the problem. - Wi-Fi networks using the IEEE 802.11b/g/n protocol operate in the 2.4 GHz band. For this reason, the transmission rate may drop if there are nearby microwave ovens, cordless telephones, microphones, or similar devices operating on the same frequency band. - If another access point operating on the same frequency band as the transmitter is used nearby, the transmission rate may drop. Using multiple camcorders/access points - Check that there are no IP address conflicts among the devices connected to the same network. - If multiple XC15 camcorders are connected to a single access point, connection speeds may be reduced. - To reduce radio wave interference when there are multiple access points using IEEE 802.11b/g or IEEE 802.11n (in the 2.4 GHz band), leave a gap of four channels between each wireless access point. For example, use channels 1, 6, and 11, channels 2, 7, and 12, or channels 3, 8, and 13. If you can use IEEE 802.11a/n (in the 5 GHz band), switch to IEEE 802.11a/n and specify a different channel.
